You read the post and it primed your brain to remember a certain way. Our brains are a shitty meatball just trying to get by. They get tricked in the same ways. Optical illusions are still illusions even though most people experience them in the same way.

Nah

If you asked me yesterday to draw this logo would have put the cornucopia. The two options aren’t labeled you pick which one is correct and then come to find out you’re wrong.

You're really not understanding how good the brain is at tricking us, of course it feels like you'd have drawn it but your brain didn't think about it yesterday what you're doing is simulating what your best assumption is for how things would have happened using the current set of information.

They've done all sorts of studies on this and honestly it's terrorizing just thinking about it.
